[@hakuna.matata0123]

The Fremen are descendants of Morgan Freman.

​@@ysahehre4316 It was joke about the actor, Morgan Freeman but he contracted the name Freeman to "Fremen". Now that I think on it... it wouldn't surprise me if "Fremen" is itself inspired by or perhaps a spin on the word "Free-Men".

My all-time favorite group of people in dune.

It was fascinating for them to become the most powerful and proud warriors only to become little more than a mockery of their past selves. Usually writers that make cool things don't sour it byt he dis it almost right away and made the tragedy of it part of the plot.

Fun fact: Amazigh is the name for the Berber tribes that they call themselves in North Africa. It means "Free Men".

[@eren5148]

first , there is no general consciousness of what the word "Amazigh" means, some say it refers to "mazigh son of Cannan" some have other interpretations, mainly because "Amazigh" it's a new word in comparison to "berbers" so there are many different understandings of which it means. However frank based Paul and the Fremen on Lawrence of Arabia , so the groups of people that have been the inspiration for the Fremen would be the Arabian tribes of Arabia and the Chechen rebels . you can see the inspiration of these arabian tribes on the fremen on their arabic-sounding names and language, there tradition, their honor code and the whole thing of a "foreign messiah" helping them against an oppression force (Lawrence, Ottomans) etc...

[@robertandrews5434]

​@@eren5148That's interesting. I figured that Herbert took inspiration for the Freman from Arabic traditions, but it seemed like he did it more because most readers back then we're familiar with Islam, so all the names and customs seemed exotic.

So I finished watching Dune Part 2 since it came out on Max and I’m probably going to restart reading the first book as I got halfway through and stopped reading a year or 2 ago. I have the others in the series and I’ve been watching these videos but I’ve known about Leto for years. That being said it really is amazing how much Dune has impacted many of the things I love. Star Wars and 40K are the most obvious but even Gears of War as well. It’s pretty obvious what the Locust religion centering around giant worms is based off of. But even cartoons I grew up on were referencing Dune well before I knew what it was. The one that comes to mind immediately is Billy & Mandy after I saw a few clips on Twitter. It might be a bit of a stretch but I even think Attack On Titan took some inspiration from Dune. I see some parallels between Eren and Paul/Leto, particularly in terms of being the culmination of centuries of planning and being able to see memories of the past. Like I said it’s a bit of a stretch. That being said I’m glad this legendary series is getting love no matter how overdue it may be. I can’t wait for the story to get as crazy and bizarre as Jojo in the future

[@robertandrews5434]

I haven't read the prequels in years, but I believe Freman comes from Free Men, a nod to their time as slaves. I also don't believe they purposely arrived on Dune. They stole a ship and rolled the dice with space folding engine.

[@Newbelievers1717]

thank you very much for this incredible history of my people...

It is sad reading about the rise and eventual fall of a noble race like the Fremen... As desert nomads they became resillient and strong and then when Arrakis becomes the garden world promised to them they become "Waterfat" and even when the deserts return to Arrakis the Fremen vanish.

They are many things, but Noble is not one of those.

Pronounced Ichhhhwan! Not Ickwan! Ffs! And you should have started calling Arrakis ‘Dunr’, as the Fremen called it! And you forgot to mention Liet Keynes father Pardot Keynes, an off world imperial planetologist!

[@TheLorebrarians]

In this video the Fremen's Arab influence is discussed. The word Ikhwan is Arabic for brethren or brotherhood, and that is indeed how it is pronounced
